After several months of development, the new Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) User Guide is now ready and available for purchase!

The MCEA User Guide includes the MCEA document with appended notes providing useful interpretation, tips, and advice on the amended MCEA for practitioners.  The new user guide replaces the former MCEA Manual & Companion Guide.

The MCEA User Guide (September 2023) is a copyright protected document by MEA and is currently available for purchase in hard copy format only.  To order the hardcopy version, CLICK HERE.

Note:  You will need to login in order to order the manual.  Shipping of the MCEA User Guide is estimated at 7-10 business days.

The MEA is working on developing a digital version of the MCEA User Guide that members will be able to view (included with your membership; subject to an annual subscription fee for non-members) but we do not expect this to be ready for several months. We will keep you posted about this.

MEA will be publishing a new manual: MEA User Guide to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.  It will be released later this spring.  The new MEA user guide will include useful tips, interpretation advice, examples and case studies that complement the approved version of the MCEA document. The user guide will be available in hard copy and searchable digital subscription formats.

Until the new user guide is ready, the MEA has suspended all sales of hardcopies of the previous version of the MCEA manual/companion guide.  Current/active subscribers to the digital searchable manual will only be able to view the old version of the manual for the time being - a new searchable digital version of the user guide will replace the current MCEA manual and will be uploaded for viewing by subscribers as soon as possible.
